Bad, bad, bad

Ok, ok, I know, Mexico is not having a good time at Olympic Games. We could say that it is because of the government, the social problems, and things like that. And in fact, the could all be true. But for me, that represents the big, huge, importance of preparing yourself for your objectives. That's all. If you know your rivals are as twice strong as you, then you must go and get four times the potential you have.

Yesterda I heard at a tv show that the "heroes" from Mexico had arriven to Greece. Well, they lose one or two hours ago. Pretty bad. And it is very sad to observe that lot of people representing Mexico at the OG needed to train themselves for 4 years, every day, having to work, or to study. Now, imagine you are one of them, and that a small mistake makes you lose in your are. Bad, isn't it?

The most important thing is that all those persons that have to work harder and harder every day to do anything (sport, coding, etc) is that they must train and go to their limits from day to day. That's the only way I can imagine it.

Congratulations to those persons that go to OG and had to lose again the best of the best in this world. Increible that we still have people who can go beyond with almost nothing support by the government and its departments. Let's go, people!

A little paper about GCGarbage collections is the routine of managing the memory in a certain environment. Maurimal (Mauricio's friendly name) got an excelent paper about GC here. Now I will have something to play with until I wait for that-gc-book-you-have-heard-about. Thanks Maurimal, you are my hero.

Linux eventHere in Puebla a Linux event will take place in the next month. It is an event ths is done yearlyby the Linux user group from Puebla and that intends to show to the people the big big power of Linux and the Open Source software.

Currently a call for papers is having place right now, so, if you think you have something to say, and something that someone should hear, then, send your paper!

I hope to see people from different universities in that event. If everything goes well, we will have Arturo Aldama Espinoza, Mancha, Gunnar Wolf and Federico. More info can be found here.
